I am working on my first article about Danish stuff… But I had to abort my work to post this. Because today is a very special day. Today Mads Mikkelsen turned 50, and he is still as fabulous as ever, if not even more!
I will get back to Mads later ( I always get back to Mads!! There is no medicine known to cure madsness yet.. )
I just wanted to highlight the anniversary.
It is funny, because in Danish, the common birthday wish is “Tillykke med fødselsdagen” (literally “Congratulation for your birthday”). Personally, if I have a chance to meet Mads on his birthday, or a few days before or after for that matter… I think I won’t congratulate him. I’ll thank him for being alive!
As I read in an open-to-fans virtual birthday card for Mads a few years ago, and by far the comment related to him that made me laugh the hardest (I still giggle thinking about it), and as that person expressed in a direct, but spot-on way:
“Mads… You flawless fuck! Happy birthday!”
Excuse the cursing, but it is a quote! 🙂

F******* F*** indeed. One of my favorite actors ever, especially after seeing how well he does dark comedy in the film Adam’s Apples.

Thank you very much for taking time to comment 🙂
I couldn’t agree more… You might know already, but just in case, if you have enjoyed “Adam’s Apples”, you might also like “Flickering lights” and “green butchers” all from Anders Thomas Jensen. They are some kind of a trilogy of movies not related, but all about a form of “good vs evil” in life. Same dark comedy, pretty much the same actors, and I can’t wait to see “Men and chicken” that should be pretty much alike.

You’re very welcome! Regarding Green Butchers…I found it on youtube but the quality wasn’t great. Still, I thought the film was very funny. I found Men and Chicken streaming online but the english subs aren’t that good. I intend to watch it though, knowing how well Mads pulls off a role in black comedy. The funny thing is that I had only heard of him because of the Le Chiffre roll, and then of course Hannibal, and everything after that, but I really really like him best in comedy.
